Honda creates the Urban EV Concept

Its boxy proportions might have been influenced by Honda's 'N' kei car range which first appeared in the late 1960s, but the Urban EV Concept actually resembles the original Volkswagen Golf. That's not a bad thing, incidentally.

Plans have already been announced to build this pure-electric four-seat hatchback on an all-new platform. Indeed, a production version is due to be launched in Europe during 2019.

However, as is often the case with concept cars, some of the more fanciful features probably won't survive the transition to showroom model. For instance, the rear-hinged doors, thin A-pillars and huge dashboard screen are likely to be casualties for either cost or safety reasons.

Rather frustratingly, Honda is divulging nothing about the Urban EV Concept's powertrain, so performance, range and recharge times are all unknown.
